My neice has one. The only animals that I've seen take bigger dumps had hooves. I know this because I helped my neice and her husband move into their house. The dog seemed keen on marking her new territory. Several times. And, not in the yard. It was like creeping through a minefield, while carrying furniture...

Everyone comments about the size of there dumps... It's one of the benefits. They are always easy to locate.



In the house is not good though...

After I throw up the insulation, I'll remember this when I run YPAO again.

I think you're skipping steps. You might give YPAO a fair chance at success by establishing a proper xo point, experimenting with the sub phase and isolating the subs. On my rec'r there are multiple memory setting and yours is newer so you could probably set for Lsub, Rsub, L&Rsubs and all options in and out of phase. Then you could do all that again at the next xo point.

Your calibration is like my entertainment center ... not done!!!

Throwing up insulation ... do a search for nibhaz's latter posts for some excellent info on what happens with that corner trap thing regarding size and insulation density. It's not too hard to find the pertinent posts and the info is great.

Happy hunting.

Well, I know I skipped some steps recently, due to being a bit wooly-headed lately, but I have gone through the setup properly before and the problem was definitley there.

Today, I installed a pair of "superchunk" bass traps in the front corners, using safe n' sound and a pair of panel traps behind the mains (which are back behind the screen again).

The superchunks are 19" x 19" x 27" and the panel traps are 16" x 48" x 6". I've run YPAO again, after setting the x-over at 80Hz, everything set to small. I'm pretty beat right now, so I'm not going to try any tones tonight. I just have a hockey game right now, which isn't going to provide much in the way of bass, so I can't really say what effects the treatments are having.

I might try some tones tomorrow, or watch something with some bass in it. We'll see. Later...

Oh, and thanks for the help Alex. It was informative and not the least bit inflammatory.

This time it's turkey chili I had to laugh around but I just wanna say if
you need me to help you, you're in real trouble ... I mean you're welcome.

Good going on the sound absorption.
It's all a work in progress and for me. By the time I get one piece of gear figured out it's out dated anyway.

Did you say you have tried reversing the phase? This made a huge audible difference in my upstairs setup.

Hey, you reminded me to set "skip" after making manual adjustments before running YPAO. If any tip you give me from now on is completely retarded, I'll still be grateful.

Did you get a dog yet?

Yeah, I've done that. It did make a difference, but it's not night and day. Since putting up the treatments, I'll have to go through that excercise again, just to see if that has any influence.

Okay, here's a pretty useful one with Rives. I sit in the primary listening position and hold it (the SPL meter) in my hand. That way when I find a huge dip or peak I can wave my arm around and see what happens at different seating positions. I use to set the meter on a tripod and then try walking around it to get readings but then I always wondered if I was scewing the measurement and it afforded me no opportunity to see that the seat on the left had th best bass response and the seat on the right is where bass dies. The primary position has a peak/null like yours just lower down the FR curve. For me it is a room related issue that's not present two feet over.

As you've already noticed the null is much more tolerable than the peak. That goes to TLS' comment about sins of omission and sins of commission. No doubt it all sounds pretty good for 'normal' people.

Call your kid over to check out the doggies.

Did you get a dog yet?

Nope. Negatory. Nadda. Nyet. Non. I would've stopped at "nope", but I wasn't allowed to post such a short answer.

I took her out to see this yesterday:

Ottawa Reptile Zoo | Birthday Party Ottawa | Ottawa Summer Camps

She really enjoyed it, but I don't think that it will distract her attention from dogs though...
